This photo was taken in 2019 at “Wan-Wan Zoo” in Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan.
It’s a well-known local spot, famous for its catchy commercial jingle — “Wan-Wan Zoo 🎶 ta-ra-ra-ra-ran 🎶” — which really sticks in your head.

It’s a theme park dedicated entirely to dogs, featuring 450 dogs across 137 different breeds.
Visitors can interact with them and even take them for walks.

It’s quite a unique kind of zoo — being “dog-exclusive” — and they also hold events like dog shows.
The photo here shows a “dog race” held during one of these shows.

I watched with mixed feelings, wondering whether the dogs had been trained to perform certain tricks…
But they were incredibly free‑spirited. Even after the race started, some of them ran off in completely the wrong direction.
Staff members chased after them, shouting, “Not that way!” — and the whole scene dissolved into chaos.

Then that familiar “Wan-Wan Zoo 🎶 ta-ra-ra-ra-ran 🎶” jingle would play like a punchline.

“Next up, we’re going to do [this]…”
The staff would call out, picking up the dogs and placing them in position…
And the dogs would immediately wander off again.

“Come back!”
The staff would run after them—

Wan-Wan Zoo 🎶 ta-ra-ra-ra-ran 🎶

By the third time this happened, I couldn’t stop laughing.
It was such a wonderfully chaotic show that had the entire venue roaring with laughter.

As you can see in the photo:
The dog in second place is sticking its rear end out, acting completely free‑spirited.
“Oh, come on…”
Both the staff and the audience were grinning at the antics.
